She said, think back to the very first thing you remember
Like the broken picture or your babysitter from pre-k
Tell me the story of when you first climbed the oak tree
Or the backyard games you and Frankie used to play
That one time when you dressed up as batman
Or when you played peter pan in the school play
I'd love to read the poems that you write
They may be silly but they're special in their own way
Oh what it was like to be young
I can't really say that it's gone away but
I could wait forever for you and maybe together
We'll grow old
What about the days when you played baseball
Or when you ran for school president in eighth grade
And I know all about your first kiss
With me underneath the bleachers at the football game
Oh what it was like to be young
I can't really say that it's gone away but
I could wait forever for you and maybe together
We'll grow old
Oh what it was like to be young
I can't really say that it's gone away but
I will wait forever for you and then someday
We'll grow old
She said it's not the end of the world we're getting older
It's just the change in time but there's so much left on my mind
Oh what it was like to be young
I can't really say that it's gone away but
I will wait forever for you and then someday
We'll grow old
No it's not the end of the world we're getting older
It's just the change in time and there's so much left down the line
Because some day we'll look back on our
Lives from somewhere way up high
And you and me will always be
The duo we were meant to be so hey
Let's enjoy the moment you and me here today
